Nanometer-sized structures are being applied to many fields including micro/nano electronics, optoelectronics, quantum computing, biosensors, etc. Micro contact printing is one of the most promising methods for manufacturing the nanometer-sized structures. The crucial element for the micro contact printing is the nano-resolution printing technique using polymeric stamps. In this study, a multi-scale analysis scheme for simulating the micro contact printing process is proposed and some useful analysis results are presented. Using the slip-link model [1], the dependency of viscoelasticity on molecular weight of polymer stamp is predicted. Deformation behaviors of polymeric stamps are analyzed using finite element method based upon the predicted viscoelastic properties.

A binary-coupled dipole approximation (BCDA) is described for designing metal nanoparticles with nonperiodic structures in one, two, and three dimensions. This method can be used to simulate the variation of near- and far-field properties through the interactions of metal nanoparticles. An advantage of this method is in its combination with the binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) algorithm to find the best array of nanoparticles from all possible arrays. The BPSO algorithm has been used to design an array of plasmonic nanospheres to achieve maximum absorption, scattering, and extinction coefficient spectra. In BPSO, a swarm consists of a matrix with binary entries controlling the presence ('1') or the absence ('0') of nanospheres in the array. This approach is useful in optical applications such as solar cells, biosensors, and plasmonic nanoantennae, and optical cloaking.

Nanometer-sized structures are being applied to many devices including micro/nano electronics, optoelectronics, quantum devices, MEMS/NEMS, biosensors, etc. Especially, the thin film with submicron thickness is a basic structure for fabricating these devices, but its mechanical behaviors are not well understood. The mechanical properties of the thin film are different from those of the bulk structure and are difficult to measure because of its handling inconvenience. Several techniques have been applied to mechanical characterization of the thin film, such as nanoindentation test, micro/nano tensile test, strip bending test, etc. In this study, we focus on the strip bending test because of its high accuracy and moderate specimen preparation efforts, and measure Au thin film, which is a very popular material in micro/nano electronic devices. Au film is deposited on Si substrate by evaporation process, of which thickness is 100nm. Using the strip bending test, we obtain elastic modulus, yield and ultimate tensile strength, and residual stress of Au thin film.

많은 생체 친화적인 센서들 중에서 avidin-biotin system은 높은 상호 특이적인 친화성으로 인하여 많은 생물학적인 응용 연구에 이용되어 왔다. 효과적인 avidin-biotin 바이오센서 개발을 위해 avidin-biotin 간의 상호 반응성을 증대시키기 위해서는 높은 표면적을 가지는 전극이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 목적을 위해 gold nanorods electrode를 사용하였다. 전기화학적인 특성은 cyclic voltammetry (CV)와 electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)를 가지고 redox couple $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-/4-}$를 사용하여 다양한 biotin의 농도에 따라 분석되었다. 결론적으로 nanorod의 전극은 1 ng/mL보다 낮은 biotin의 농도도 감지할 수 있음을 보였다.

높은 유효 표면적을 갖는 나노소재는 고감도 가스센서와 바이오센서 및 높은 촉매효율을 구현하는 기능성 소재로 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ti Sheet와 Urea를 이용하는 Chemical Bath Deposition(CBD) 공정으로 기판에 수직한 방향으로 성장하는, 높은 유효 표면적을 갖는 3차원 나노벽 유사구조의 Titanate Sheet를 합성하였다. CBD 공정에서 합성온도 및 합성시간 등을 조절하여 3차원 나노벽 유사구조의 최적 합성조건을 탐색하였다. 합성된 3차원 나노벽유사구조의 Ammonium Titanate를 공기 중에서의 열처리 공정을 통하여 다양한 용도로 활용되는 TiO2 3차원 나노벽유사구조로 변환시켰다. 연구결과 3차원 나노벽 유사구조의 Ammonium Titanate가 균일하게 성장되는 CBD 합성온도는 90 ℃이었고, 550 ℃ 이상에서 3시간 열처리하였을 경우, 3차원 나노벽 유사구조의 TiO2 상으로 변환되었다. 특히 700 ℃에서 열처리하였을 경우, Rutile 상이 우세한 TiO2 3차원 나노벽 유사구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 700 ℃의 열처리에서는 3차원 나노벽의 가장자리가 손상되는 현상이 발생하였다.

Photonic crystal structures have been received considerable attention due to their high optical sensitivity. One of the techniques to construct their structure is the dip-pen lithography (DPN) process, which requires a nano-scale resolution and high reliability. In this paper, we propose a two dimensional photonic crystal array to improve the sensitivity of optical biosensor and DPN process to realize it. As a result of DPN patterning test, we have observed that the diffusion coefficient of the mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHA) molecule ink in octanol is much larger than that in acetonitrile. In addition, we have designed and fabricated optical waveguides based on the mach-zehnder interferometer (MZI) for application to biosensors. The waveguides were optimized at a wavelength of 1550 nm and fabricated according to the design rule of 0.45 delta%, which is the difference of refractive index between the core and clad. The MZI optical waveguides were measured of the optical characteristics for the application of biosensor.

Flower-shaped organic-inorganic hybrid nanostructures, termed nanoflowers, have received considerable recent attention as they possess greatly enhanced activity, stability, durability, and even selectivity of entrapped organic biomolecules, which are much better than those from the conventional methods. They can be synthesized simply via co-incubation of organic and inorganic components in aqueous buffer at room temperature and yield hierarchical nanostructures with large surface-to-volume ratios, allowing for low-cost production by easy scale-up, as well as the high loading capacity of biomolecules without severe mass transfer limitations. Since a pioneering study reported on hybrid nanoflowers prepared with protein and copper sulfate, many other organic and inorganic components, which endow nanoflowers with diverse functionalities, have been employed. Thanks to these features, they have been applied in a diverse range of areas, including biosensors and biocatalysis. To highlight the progress of research on organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers, this review discusses their synthetic methods and mechanisms, structural and biological characteristics, as well as recent representative applications. Current challenges and future directions toward the design and development of multi-functional nanoflowers for their widespread utilization in biotechnology are also discussed.

Formation and characterization of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on various surfaces are the essential basis for many other applications, including molecular switches, biosensors, microfluidics, and fundamental studies in surfaces and interfaces. To improve the performance at these applications, it is a key to control the quantity of each molecule in various mixed SAMs on the surface. In this study, using mixed SAM of carbamate-based hydroquinone (HQ)-PhBr and11-mercaptoundecanol, the quantitative mass spectrometric method of mixed SAM was developed based on comparison study with XPS and FT-IR methods. In addition, our method was applied to another mixed SAM of biotinylated PEG alkane thiol and 11-mercaptoundecanol for verification purpose. Time-of-flight secondary mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) analysis was performed to identify and quantify each molecule of mixed SAM along with principal component analysis (PCA). Since there is no matrix effect in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) techniques, we compared ToF-SIMS results with XPS and FT-IR results. Because PCA results from ToF-SIMS analysis are well matched with XPS and FT-IR results from both mixed SAMs, we are expecting that our method will be useful to identify and quantify each molecule in various mixed SAMs.
